Both Jus Jack and Dzeko & Torres are quick to follow up their last singles, “Housid,” and “Y3ah.” Their latest offering, “Anyday” features blissful vocals from Gallantry that complement a euphoric melody, keeping the track moving. The collaboration between these two rising talents has created a solid progressive house outing that showcases their production talents and future potential. Dzeko & Torres have been very busy as of late, hinting to us that there is a lot more in store in the near future. Unfortunately, we have no official release date but “Anyday” will be out soon on CR2 records.
After announcing the formation of Reepublic last week, Michael Canitrot is back on his own and releasing his latest song “Leave Me Now” in an EP complete with two remixes. The original uses vocals to carry the track into a calming melodic breakdown. The first remix by Ryeland adds a dubstep influenced electro bass line while stuttering the vocals to create a completely renvision the original’s production style. DJ Meme keeps the feel of the original but reworks the beat to give it a more classical house feel with and without the vocals. You can grab the EP for $2.76 on iTunes or for $9.96 on Beatport which includes an extended mix – the choice is yours.
Alvaro is back with another single after seeing huge support for his last two releases, “Pay Attention to the Drums” and “Make the Crowd Go.” His latest offering, “Make Me Jump” starts off with some airy synthwork leading into a progressive build with a stomach-turning drop and a throaty, horn-filled bassline. Although we can’t quite place the influence, the sounds are extremely familiar – a touch of Laidback Luke may have snuck its way into the production. “Make Me Jump” is now available from Musical Freedom on Beatport.
Although it has been a few months since W&W released their single “Moscow” and even longer since “Shotgun,” it’s clear that the Dutch duo has been hard at work in the studio. “Lift Off!” begins with high synths and a spacey melody before culminating in a stutter-laced drop. The hard trance, electro, and punchy bass combine to gives us a genre-blending production – the type of tracks that we have come to expect from W&W. Officially released today on Mainstage Records, “Lift Off!” is now available on Beatport.

After teasing us ever since April, Nicky Romero and Avicii will finally be releasing their collaboration formerly known as “Nictim.” “I Could Be The One” is nearly identical to the instrumental, but the typical bootleg vocal of Justice’s “D.A.N.C.E” is swapped for its own, creating a slightly different feel from the original. We wish Avicii would be more timely with his releases, because at this point, “Nictim” is almost passed its prime – keeping things fresh requires a bit more than just adding vocals. Much like they claimed in April, “I Could Be the One” will be released… soon…
